A potential ban for Rabbitohs playmaker Cody Walker could pave the way for a fifth ex-Bronco to be named in the 17-man side to face the Roosters as Wayne Bennett turns to familiar faces.

Troy Dargan is firming to make his debut for South Sydney, which would make him the fifth former Bronco to play for Wayne Bennett at the Rabbitohs.

The Sydney Morning Herald South Sydney are preparing to play Dargan if Cody Walker is sanctioned by the NRL over his role in a fight late last year.

Souths are hoping to know on Friday if Walker will miss any game time for karate kicking a man during the street fight in Casino.

If he does the Dargan will join a list of former Broncos including Corey Allan, Dane Gagai, James Roberts and Jaydn Su’A to play under Bennett at South Sydney.

The Rabbitohs will also learn if James Roberts can return to training or will have to isolate after leaving a rehabilitation facility on Thursday.

In a busy week the club will also learn if Wayne Bennett will be fined for not revealing any details about Walker’s Casino incident to the NRL and if Latrell Mitchell’s penalty for breaching social distancing laws will be changed.

Any potential suspension for Walker allow Dargan, who was an Eels junior before moving to the Broncos and then following Bennett to South Sydney to debut for the club in Round 3.

While Walker was not charged by police and no formal complaint was lodged with Souths or the NRL, the video footage was still a bad look for the code.
